From Rob't Teare we learn that

last Saturday, the .McCormick "got

did respectable work. The rye was
green, and the McCormick was the
only one that oould elevateand bind it.
If any man doubts the McCor
mick being the best, most durable,
and simplest in construction of any
harvester and binder ever made, his
doubts will be removed If he will not
give his orders for any machine until
he sees them all work in grain. And
you will have an opportunity in time
to buy before harvest.

Bast Thursday, May 23rd, was the
day appointed for the gathering of the
temperance masses in Nebraska City.
The people came from Otoe county
principally, but not a fewfromNema-
ha, and by common consent the day
and occasion were made a perfect suc
cess. The rally for Buch it was was
under the immediate control of the
Nebraska City T. of H.
At 10 o'clock the people assembled
at the capacious lodge room, and after
exohanges of social greeting between
the brethren of the city and visiting
brethren, Capt. Sousley, marshal of
the day, arranged a line of march.
The procession marched up Main
street to 10th, and down 10th to the
Park, headed by the Helicon band
and officers of the Temple, and fol
lowed by the members two by two.
Major Pearman, W. C. T. of the Ne
braska City Temple, called the multi
tude to order in a neatspeech. Speech
es were made by Revs. Rodabough,
Reed and Williams, and Bro. Fenn,
of the Peru Herald, al! of whom
showed themselves earnest and en
thusiastic for the promotion of gener
al temperance principles. The means
urged to be employed for eliminating
the trafic from the land were similar
to those of The Advertised The
exercises were sandwiched with band
music After dinner a few speeches
were delivered, all to the same pur
port as those previously given. This
day was quite an event in Nebraska
City'.s history. We noticed a num
ber, who were formerly hard drink
ers, now reformed, and they were the
principal instigators of the movement
and the most persistent workers in the
temperance cause.
But gorgeous as was the day in pa
rade, the evening out3hnne it, as a
stellar night excels the best efforts in
the windows of a drug store. It was
not a mere blaze of light, a glare al
though there were three strawberry
festivals well illuminated but a fault
less reproduction of the temperance
drama, "Saved." We attended, an
ticipating a dry, uninteresting rehear
sal, but never before was the differ
ence between anticipation and reali
zation more forcibly exemplified than
in this instance. The rendering of
this drama has a more potent 'influ
ence in stopping the drinking of liq
uor than a hundred of spheeches. It
also strengthens those lately reformed.
During theevening tears were brought
to the eyes of a great many as they
watched the slow but Bure downfall
of Frank Raj-moud, who, although
starting out in life with strong resolu
tion, weakens before hi3 newly made
wife, ond put3 the oup to his lip only
to soon reap a drunkard's lot. Sufiico
it to say it is peldom a home troupe
acquits itself so creditably as did this
cno. While all did well in their re
spective positions, we must be allowed
to name J. Stil-on Potter, editor of
theiVcKW, who personatod-Josh Slen
der with his "velocipeder," as the
star. He had a difficult position but
sustained it with credit.

of ladies who had "skipped out" from

arrested them. They gave their names
as Mrs. Boyse and Miss Boyse. Mrs.
Royes'a hosband is a livery man of

her tiiat she would not be at home on

A little caution will prevent a mis
take. The Marsh JVb. 4 is a double
rigged combined machine. Self-rake,
furnished with an extra drag bar and
mower bar, which gives the purchas
er, in fact, two machines a complete
mower and a complete reaper. The
change Is made by removing one pin
and one key.
It is light draft having very high
driving wheels.
It has no gearing in the drive
wheels, to clog up with dust and mud.
It 19 easier changed from a Reaper
to a Mower than any other.
It has all case hardened bearings
no Babbitt boxes.
It Is exceedingly simple in Its con
struction. It has nospTlngs(Iswltohes orstraps
to get out of order.
It Is almost entirely made bf cast
and wrouglltiron.
It has no wooden finger bar or frame
to warp or shrink.
It is the only two-wheeled Reaper
that can cut very high or very Jow,
both sides alike, without stopping the
team to make a change.
It has cold rolled iron finger bar,
both for reaping and mowing.
